Cui Ling smiled when he heard this, but did not respond to her.

The next morning, the tribe once again faced a new challenge, this time from the Leopard Tribe.

When A Zhuang came out to fight, he was stunned to see that the person in front of him was his mother's tribe. The other side also realized his tribe, so all the leopard tribe members turned into beasts and started roaring at him.

Liang Tan heard the noise and hurriedly pulled Cui Ling over. He became nervous when he saw the scene in front of him: "No, it's not a one-on-one duel? Are they going to fight together this time?"

"No." Cui Ling's expression was solemn.

Liang Tan swallowed his saliva: "What's going on?"

"They are calling A Zhuang to go back." Cui Ling said.

Liang Tan was stunned: "Go back?"

"Well, they returned to their tribe," Cui Ling glanced down at her, "They should have discovered that A Zhuang is one of their kind."

"…So what if they are the same kind? A Zhuang was abandoned by them because of his weak body. Now they want to fight and they just remember to call him away. Aren't they too shameless? A Zhuang will never agree to that." Liang Tan had also heard about A Zhuang's affairs and began to stand up for him.

Cui Ling saw her angry look and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "The nature of orcs is to return to their roots. Few orcs can resist the call of their people."

Liang Tan snorted and didn't take it seriously, but the next second, he saw A Zhuang lowering his head and returning to them.

Liang Tan: “!!!”

She opened her eyes wide in shock, but the people around her, whether Cui Ling or the tribe leader, all looked as if they had known this would happen. The leopard tribe called their own kind away and immediately let out a cry of joy, while the tribe was in a state of despair.

The leopard tribe has amazing speed and strong explosive power. Once A Zhuang leaves, there are not many people in the entire tribe who can compete with them.

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Cui Ling. The others were begging, but Liang Tan was the only one who was worried: "Yes, or let's just forget it."

"Don't you like it here? Why give up?" Cui Ling asked.

Liang Tan frowned: "You really don't know why?"

"I know, but I want to hear it from you." Cui Ling raised his eyes and glanced at the opposite camp.

Liang Tan grabbed his hand: "I'm not kidding you, I'm afraid you'll get hurt." Although it is shameful to desert a battlefield, compared with Cui Ling's safety, nothing else matters.

"Don't worry." Cui Ling said, rubbed her head and rushed out.

The leopard tribe quickly dodged Cui Ling's attack. When they were about to counterattack, Cui Ling suddenly retreated. The leopard tribe obviously didn't expect that he would start dodging right away. After a moment of stunned silence, they quickly concentrated their energy and killed him.

The fight between a wolf and a leopard was fierce, and everyone was on edge.

At first, Cui Ling was at a disadvantage, but gradually he began to gain the upper hand. Liang Tan saw that he did not use his full strength at the beginning, so he knew that the outcome was already decided, and he silently breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Leopard Tribe has strong explosive power but lacks endurance. If they didn't win at the beginning, it will be difficult for them to win next time. Cui Ling is very smart." The tribe leader said, and almost as soon as he finished speaking, the opponent was thrown out.

Won.

The tribe cheered again, but not as happily as they had when they had first achieved victory.

Liang Tan followed Cui Ling with her eyes, eagerly waiting for his return. When he walked into the tribe, she was about to greet him when she heard the tribe leader sigh: "In fact, he may not live well when he returns."

Liang Tan was stunned and subconsciously looked at A Zhuang. A Zhuang noticed her gaze but did not have the courage to look back. He just followed his people silently, step by step towards the depths of the forest.

"But who doesn't want to return to his own tribe?" another orc said enviously.

Liang Tan pursed his lips, and the last bit of happiness from victory in his heart instantly disappeared.

After the Leopard Tribe lost, it brought a long period of peace to the tribe. After all, there were few orcs in the mountains and forests who were stronger than the Leopard Tribe. As a result, the Leopard Tribe couldn't win, and the orcs who wanted to pick on the weak at the beginning completely gave up.

However, Liang Tan was not very happy. A Zhuang's departure made her feel depressed. Whenever she closed her eyes, A Zhuang's lonely back was all in her mind.

Gradually, she was able to guess what Ah Zhuang was feeling at the time——

He knew that if he left, his life might not be better, but the instinct deep in his bones still made him choose to leave.

She felt a little sad that the orcs had evolved to such an extent, but were still bound by the so-called laws of nature.

Every time she thought of this, she felt indescribably sad. After a period of time, even Cui Ling couldn't ignore it anymore.

"If you really miss him, I will take you to the Leopard Tribe to play with him." He said reluctantly.

Liang Tan was not in high spirits: "Forget it, I don't miss him that much."

"Then don't call his name even in your dreams." Cui Ling's face turned black.

Liang Tan was stunned: "Do I have it?"

"Yes, it was last night." Cui Ling answered confidently.

Liang Tan was at a loss for a moment: "Ah, I don't remember."

Cui Ling: “…”

In order to prevent her from having any more wild thoughts, Cui Ling decided to take her out for a walk.

Early in the morning, Liang Tan was pulled out of the tiger-skin quilt. Before she could fully wake up, Cui Ling carried her on his back in wolf form and rushed out.

Liang Tan was startled by the whistling wind. When he realized his situation, he screamed and quickly hugged his neck.

"Don't worry, I won't throw you off." The big white wolf said in a deep voice and increased his speed.

His nimble body ran through the mountains and forests, passing through countless large and small thorns and gravel. The sunlight shone through the dense leaves and fell on his white fur, reflecting a silver-like light.

Liang Tan hugged his neck tightly, and screamed in fear every time he saw a big tree coming towards him, but Cui Ling always managed to perfectly avoid the obstacle in the last step. After being frightened by him several times, Liang Tan realized that he did it on purpose, and couldn't help but kick him twice with a smile, but Cui Ling became even more aggressive.

She ran all the way with Cui Ling carrying her on his back, letting the wind blow across her cheeks. Gradually, she finally felt a bit of fun and couldn't help laughing and asking him to go faster. The depression in her heart disappeared and she felt relaxed.

Cui Ling carried her through mountains, rivers and forests, and finally stopped on a plain.

Liang Tan jumped off him and shouted into the valley, from which soon there were endless echoes.

"If I had known it was so fun, I should have let you carry me more often." She said with a smile.

Cui Ling saw the unreserved smile on her face, and her mood finally improved: "If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I will also take you out."

"Okay!" Liang Tan said, and when he saw that he had turned into a human form, he laughed and pounced on him.

Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously opened his arms and hugged her, the smile on his lips suddenly deepened: "Are you so happy?"

"Well, I haven't been this happy in a long time." She said, hugging him tighter.

Cui Ling held her lower back with his big hand, raised his eyes to look at the valley opposite, and felt unprecedented peace in his heart.

Liang Tan held him for a while, then began to explore the plain. Cui Ling had obviously been here many times, and when he saw her looking around, he introduced the scenery here one by one. Liang Tan listened and touched everywhere, and she actually found something.

"Look at this!" she exclaimed, holding up a round lump she had dug from the ground. It looked like a potato no matter how she looked at it.

Cui Ling frowned after seeing it: "Don't want this, throw it away."

It was the first time Liang Tan heard him speak in this tone, and he quickly threw the thing away: "What's going on? Is it poisonous?"

"It's not poisonous and can be eaten." Cui Ling said again.

Liang Tan was stunned: "It's not poisonous and can be eaten, why throw it away?"

"It's not delicious." Cui Ling answered bluntly. Liang Tan didn't believe it, so she picked it up again and studied it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more it looked like a potato. Seeing that she was reluctant to throw it away, Cui Ling had to continue to persuade her: "It's really not delicious. I used to come here often to eat this, and it tasted very strange."

Liang Tan paused when he heard this, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

When he was in the wolf tribe, he started hunting with adult orcs at a very young age and showed his hunting talent very early. Such orcs would receive supreme respect no matter which tribe they were in. But he, who couldn't even get a full meal, had to run here to eat this kind of thing.

Cui Ling sensed that she was in a bad mood and hesitated for a moment: "If you really want to try it, then try it."

After that, he took the round lump, cut it in half with a bone knife and handed it to Liang Tan. Liang Tan looked at the yellow core and confirmed once again that it was a potato. She held the cut potato in half and looked up to meet Cui Ling's dark green eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled at him: "I wish I could come earlier."

At least he won't be so hungry that he has to eat raw potatoes.

Cui Ling didn't understand why she said that, but he could hear the heartache and love in her words. In his long life, this was the first time he received such strong love, which made him feel at a loss.

There was the sound of the wind beside his ears, and in front of him was his favorite person. He paused for a long time and raised the corners of his lips: "No matter when you come, I will love you with my life."

Liang Tan's heart warmed up, and after a pause he smiled: "Since you love me with your life, can you help me dig more potatoes?"

Cui Ling: “…”

Despite repeatedly stressing that it was not tasty, Liang Tan still scooped out a large bag, wrapped it in clothes and put it on his back. Cui Ling looked disgusted, but he could only carry it tightly.

The two played on the plain for an entire afternoon, and did not leave until it was getting dark. Liang Tan thought she was going home this time, but she ended up lying on the wolf's back and circling around, and finally stopped in front of a cave.

"...This cave looks familiar," Liang Tan said speechlessly, "Why do you suddenly want to come here?"

"In order to ensure that you do not forget your original aspiration, always remember who is the most important person in your heart." He learned the phrase "do not forget your original aspiration" from Liang Tan.

Liang Tan laughed when he heard this: "You've become more and more sarcastic recently?"

"Who told you to call another man's name even in your dreams?" Cui Ling snorted, but didn't care much.

Liang Tan sat down beside him with a smile. After he found some dry firewood to light the fire, he directed him to dig some wet mud outside the cave.

"What do you want that for?" Cui Ling just wanted to stay with her and didn't want to go out.

Liang Tan pushed him and said, "Go quickly."

Cui Ling curled the corners of his lips, and seeing that she insisted, he had to leave.

After a while, he came back with a large piece of wet mud.

Liang Tan asked him to put the mud on the ground, and rolled up his sleeves to quickly coat the potatoes with mud. Cui Ling looked a little disgusted: "What are you playing at?"

"This is not a joke, I'm making you something delicious." Liang Tan didn't even raise his head.

Cui Ling frowned immediately: "It's all dirty, and I can still eat it... You don't want me to eat mud, do you?"

Liang Tan was too lazy to pay attention to this ignorant orc. He lowered his head to wrap the mud evenly, and then placed it around the fire to bake. Cui Ling was disgusted at first, but seeing her poking with a stick, he gradually became interested and broke off a branch to learn how to turn the potatoes over.

"Be careful not to poke it." Liang Tan reminded.

Cui Ling responded vaguely, holding her waist with one hand and turning the potatoes with the other.

After a long time, the wet mud gradually burned into a hard shell, and then cracked under the continuous baking. Liang Tan then took one down, shook off the mud on it, and wrapped it with leaves to peel it.

The baked potato skin was easily peeled off. She blew on it gently and took a careful bite. The soft and glutinous fragrance immediately filled her entire mouth. She exhaled comfortably and then handed it to his mouth.

“No.” Cui Ling ate too much when he was a child and still hates it now.

Liang Tan waved it at his lips again: "Hurry up and listen."

"I don't want to eat it." Cui Ling said, but still took a bite of her hand.

The completely different texture and taste made him stunned. After he came to his senses, he couldn't help but confirm again whether this thing was the one he had eaten before.

"Is it delicious?" Liang Tan asked with a smile.

Cui Ling had a subtle expression: "... Yeah."

This feeling is very strange, as if a long-held cognition of mine was suddenly overturned.

Liang Tan couldn't help but smile when he saw his silly look: "Eat more if you like it."

"it is good……"

Liang Tan watched him eat potatoes in silence, one after another, his eyes turning red as he ate. She pursed her lips and reached out to clasp his fingers.

Cui Ling paused and looked up. After meeting her eyes, all the grievances he had suffered in the past seemed to have suddenly found an outlet and poured out like a flood.

"It's really strange, it's just an unpalatable round lump." Cui Ling laughed at himself, but his eyes became redder.

Liang Tan raised his hand and touched his head: "With me here, you won't suffer anymore."

Cui Ling's Adam's apple moved, and suddenly he was unable to speak.

Liang Tan laughed, and the firelight made her face warm and bright.

She didn't know how long it had been, but when she was about to fall asleep, a faint male voice rang in her ears: "If I had a wolf's body, would you accept it?"

Liang Tan opened his eyes quickly.

"I still want to keep one tail," Cui Ling said weakly, "The others are all in human form, so this is equivalent to a beast-form contract. After doing it once, I won't be looking down on you if I do the others..."

Before he could finish his words, someone kissed him on the lips.

Cui Ling was shocked when he got the response, and ears and tail appeared immediately.

The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became warm, with rustling noises heard in the darkness. Before long, Liang Tan couldn't help but let out a light hum.

"Tell me if you feel uncomfortable." Cui Ling struggled to speak.

"If I'm not mistaken..." She said in a hoarse voice, attracting the Big White Wolf as soon as she opened her mouth, "The sun appears in this position, which represents dusk."

"Yes, it's getting dark." Cui Ling replied.

Liang Tan was speechless for a moment: "I actually slept for a whole day."

"You are too tired." Cui Ling said, and touched her face with heartache.
